WTB alpina wheels for my 71 2800cs

[shane]

Hi I'm looking for some nice wheels for the 71 2800cs I bought It has wire wheels on it now but they are 14s. I would like alpine wheel but hard to find I think. Let my know if you can help thanks

Coupe King's are your best choice and look the best IMHO.

+1 on coupeking alpinas. priced right, look exactly the same, except don't say alpina.

And real Alpinas still show up now and then on the forum and on the Internet/eBay. Maybe not cost effective but some folks value having genuine brand parts on their cars. For an air filter who cares if it's Mann and Hummel or Purolator (doesn't it say Purolator on the air is?), but there were a few things branded on our cars back in the day

(1) wheels and tires
(2) Alpina parts
(3) radio
(4) Weber carbs

I value that originality and waited a few years to find a set of real 16" Alpina rims.

We're assuming you want to move to 16" Alpinas vs 14" ?

And the spokes aren't as deep. I'm with Steve on OEM and I am not a fan of Chinese wheels. Where's the quality control and who paid to have them tested for safety? DOT?

still looking?

saw this on eBay. but, they are not staggered, like you will get 4x front wheels. not top condition but then the price is lower.

Shane,

Did you find the 16" staggered Alpinas? I have a set if you're still looking. Send a PM or email if you'd like the details and some images.

Thanks,

I have a set of 16" staggered genuine Alpinas for sale. Previous owner had painted them black, but they are the real thing and they are straight and in good shape.

Sold

I have a set of 16" staggered genuine Alpinas for sale.

But those are not the period correct (for e9) open-lug alpinas.

But those are not the period correct (for e9) open-lug alpinas.

True...that is true. I probably just should have put a new post up. My apologies.

 

[sfdon]

Period correct and a very good price
Sold

 

[Tone]

Sold.

 

[sfdon]

Ok - not really period correct but oh so close
My apology to Gransin

 

[Gransin]

No need for an apology Don

But I got a little bit interested, is a staggered set of closed-lug 16" Alpinas really worth $1700? or more?

I'm only asking because I have a set myself.

Cheers,
